Coffee Description
La Folie is the quintessential representation of the fruity, creamy, and
balanced coffees we expect from Antigua, Guatemala. It is the
ultimate balance of bright and round, opening with juicy mandarin,
and rolling into the sugary nuttiness of almond brittle, and creamy
milk chocolate. This is an excellent offering for anyone looking to
explore an approachable single origin.

About La Folie Coffee Farm of Guatemala
La Folie is one of the most illustrious coffee farms in Antigua, and is currently managed by Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora. The harvested cherries from the farm are brought to Zamora’s Bella Vista processing facility for the wet and dry milling, after which the processed cherries get sorted into lots based on the day harvested, variety, and elevation.

Cat & Cloud
Based in the west coast beach town of Santa Cruz, CA, Cat & Cloud Coffee was started by long-time coffee professionals Chris Baca, Jared Truby, and Charles Jack. Chris and Jared hold five Top-5 finishes in the US Barista, Brewer's Cup, and Latte Art Competitions between them. Begun as a podcast and an online webstore in 2015, Cat & Cloud opened their first retail location September of 2016.
With a vision “To Change the Way the World Does Business,” they created and currently run the most-listened to/watched Coffee-related Podcast and YouTube channel in the US. Whether it’s previous work in Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Sudan as part of TechnoServe's East Africa Coffee Initiative, making sure their team members are well taken care of and sending them to origin, to developing relationships with coffee producer partners based on repeatable quality scores, not the volatility of the C-market.
Working to be content creators, information sharers, and industry leaders, they strive “to learn, grow, and create a community that feels good to EVERYONE, not just to the few people at the top.”
